Motorola Droid - How To Delete Navigation Locations

Replies: 4 | Post Date: Mar 12, 2010 4:54 PM | User: Unknown | Forums:Have built up a number of locations for navigation. Some are incorrect and some no longer needed. Have searched numerous forums for the method of deleting these locations with zero success. Anyone here have the magic formula?

Is there anyway to report navigation errors so they can be addressed? Found a major one this morning when the gps told me to exit off i-285 in atlanta on exit 30a to get onto i-85 north. Only problem is exit 30a is 85 south and takes you into the city of atlanta. Fortunatley i knew this was wrong and continued to 30b. If there is any way to report these errors other than this forum, please let me know.

I love my droid. After finally mastering the learning curve i find my device really great. Most of my problems were "operator error" related. Having said all of that, i have a pesky problem of once in a while not being able to delete a particular e-mail message. I have tried everything i know of and it still stays in the in box. Not a life or death issue but it is really strange.

Has anyone noticed that there isn't a key to delete numbers from the dialpad screen while in a call. There is no backspace. I have found with some calls that if i don't clear the dialpad between typing in menu numbers or credit card numbers etc that the company i am talking to takes all the residual numbers on the screen as part of the number too.consequently i sometimes have to backspace/delete the previous entries before making a new entry. Cant do that now. The droid doesn't have a delete button for the dial up pad while in call.

Does anyone know how much memory gmail messages are taking up on the droid. I have a lot (and i mean thousands) of gmail messages and i don't want a lot of them residing on my droid. So i'm hoping there is some limit as to the number that get stored on the droid, or there is a way to delete the messages on the droid while still keeping them in the cloud.

When i first got the droid, i was thrilled that i was able to download a few videos from a video relay services (vrs) and view the videos on my droid. The purpose of those videos are the messages that hearing people called and leave their message through the relay services (similar to voice mail that hearing people get). Now the problem is that each time i downloaded a video and want to watch the message. The media's pop up said "sorry, this video cannot be played" or something like that. I went to the gallery to see if there are any videos in there. There were three videos (two were from vrs and one that i used my droid to video my dog). All three were deleted. But each time i download the vrs messages, one or more of these deleted videos reappeared! How do i completely delete those videos that i already deleted many times? And how do i get the media to work again?

I kept the droid mainly because of its ability to download the video message and play them. I hope that motorola will get this video issues fixed up soon. I am not going to give up. But if motorola want to attract deaf people to get droid, then they would need to get the video problems fixed.

Btw, i convinced friend who is also deaf to get droid and she bought it today.

Ok, time to ask, i've searched, tried things suggested, and have spent a day on this to no avail. Any suggestions gratefully received. I am using the mapview tutorial as a base and i can only get one marker/ location to show up - the one in mexico, another off of cape cod, but not both! (I checked the data on the locationlist array and it is there with different lat/lons as ints)

I have several starred items and most were entered by hand. Problem i have in the car and on the fly is that i know the name of who i want to go see, but only an address shows up. It can be hard to see and i don't always remember the person's address. I would like to add more stars but without being able to label an address "booty call 1", etc, i will have a hard time using it.

Anyone know how i could possibly find the locations of the icon files for apps that i have installed?

Some apps are easy to find in the /system/apps directory but others like gasbuddy for example don't show up and i have no idea what else it could possibly be hiding under.

Is there another app perhaps that i could install that would show me that type of install information? Or a list somewhere on the internet? I've searched all day but didn't turn up much of anything useful.

I didn't see a thread for google navigation. I tested it on the eris and it's fantastic. I stopped by the vzw store and picked up the body glove case for the eris which works with the moto droid mount/case combo. The downside is that the moto droid mount/case combo is $30 and the body glove for the eris is also $30. If you have a moto droid you get both for $30. With the 25% discount i get through my company, it came to $45+tax, which isn't bad at all. It works like a charm for mounting the eris like any gps and it destroys my tom tom one 3rd generation, which i got back in 2007. I haven't tried to voice search for it yet.

Is there a way to delete all of the contacts i pulled over into my cliq without killing all of the apps etc i added (i.e.games, news widgets etc)? Somehow i wound up with countless "unknown" contacts in my contact list. Probably related to how i fed my bberry's . Csv file into google contacts and then into the cliq. The excel spread sheet looked great - but i obviously (think) i missed something.

Once i imported my motoblur contacts via mymotoblur.com i can't view, edit, or delete them via web browser. When i update the details on my phone, it only updates it on my phone and not on my motoblur.

Ive installed navigon and all needed components, downloaded the map i needed and tried to start the app. Fail. The app wants to download something (options: download from pc or use wlan). Is it possible to bypass the choice? Or how can i start the navigation?
